We need to know more about our #conspiracy peddlers. What are they selling? How are they funded?

"The emotional appeal of a conspiracy theory is in its simplicity. It explains away complex phenomena, accounts for chance & accidents, offers the believer the satisfying sense of having special, privileged access to the truth. For those who become the one-party state's gatekeepers, the repetition of these conspiracy theories also brings another reward: power."
